That's an amazing story! The reunion must have been the most poignant moment. There's something so 'together' about little chicks, isn't there? There were 13 of them born on Ian's mom's dockstep (like a doorstep but it leads up from the lake instead of the road) last year, and they were just amazing to watch when they were sleeping. About 7 of them on the bottom, and the rest would pile on top. Then one on the bottom would get feeling squished, and he'd wriggle up through the pile to the top, and on and on.
